Casazza, the Val Cavallina below Lake Endine

The Tonale state road, which climbs the Val Cavallina from Trescore towards Lovere and Lake Iseo, runs through Casazza, the valley-floor municipality just south of Lake Endine. The town is squeezed between the wooded sides of the valley, with the Cherio stream flowing across the flat ground, and mixes a compact old centre, residential areas and business units along the main road.

If you work in Bergamo, the valley is a busy corridor at rush hour, and the distance is measured more in minutes than in kilometres. The market offers flats in small blocks, detached houses and old village houses; if you buy along the main road, think about noise and traffic, while the side streets and the areas on the slope are quieter. Average declared incomes are below the average for the province of Bergamo.

In 2023 there were 3,791 residents, down 5.7% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is still young, with an estimated average age of 44.0 against 45.2 in the province and over-65s at 21.0%. Foreign residents make up 16.6%.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, and in Casazza the expected ground acceleration is about 0.119 g. The hazard is moderate: for a 1970s building, ask whether the structure has been checked, along with the state of the roof and any planned major works. Winters in the valley are cold, in climate zone E.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the plot. Near the Cherio and the streams coming down the slopes, and on the valley sides, flood and landslide hazards are checked at the exact address.
